Mel B Celebrates Nuptials with a Splendid Second Wedding in Morocco
In a stunning display of love and individuality, Mel B, the iconic Spice Girl, recently tied the knot with her husband Rory McPhee in a breathtaking second wedding ceremony held in Morocco over the weekend. This celebration followed their earlier formal wedding in London’s St Paul’s Cathedral, which took place just a month ago. The vibrant Moroccan nuptials, held from August 1 to August 3, were a grand affair that beautifully reflected both Mel B’s personal style and the enchanting culture of the North African nation.
While the first ceremony featured traditional elements—Mel B donned a classic pearl-adorned white gown and arrived in a vintage Bentley—the Moroccan celebration showcased her bold sense of fashion. Instead of white, Mel B wowed her guests in a sparkling red strapless gown by U.S.-based designer Justin Alexander, complete with a dramatic thigh-high split. The dress, adorned with rich red crystals and bugle beads, took over 850 hours to create, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship of a dedicated team of artisans.
The outdoor spiritual ceremony at the luxurious Selman Marrakech hotel was perfectly complemented by lavish décor, including Moroccan lanterns and ornate table settings. High-energy celebrations over three days included a dinner and brunch, engaging guests in a beautifully immersive experience that celebrated love and friendship.
Among the attendees was Mel B’s fellow Spice Girl, Melanie C, who made the trip to Morocco after missing the London ceremony. Her presence added a touch of nostalgia, as it was thought that the Spice Girls might consider a reunion, having shared many memories over the years—including a mini-reunion in Morocco for David Beckham’s 40th birthday celebration nearly a decade ago.
Reflecting on the bridal gown, wedding dress guru Caroline Black shared that the focus was on making it light and effortlessly glamorous, fitting for the vibrant environment of Marrakech. “Mel had such a strong sense of what she wanted,” Caroline said, emphasizing the joy of collaborating to bring Mel’s vision to life.
The couple’s stunning wedding has not only reignited discussions around the enduring appeal of the Spice Girls but has also showcased Morocco as a luxurious and artistic backdrop for destination weddings. Mel B’s celebration highlights the richness of culture and personal style, proving once again that love knows no boundaries.
For those considering a dreamlike wedding, Morocco offers a beautiful blend of history, architecture, and hospitality that could make any couple’s special day unforgettable.
